It still has some velocity ..I shot a coral snake last year out front and from about 6 feet away the shot bounced back and hit me in the upper chest / shoulder ....I didn't have a tshirts on and it wasn't that bad but I would wanna take a shot from that at less than 10 feet.

In the days of the old west a 6 shooter was as common as cell phones are today and just annoying if they go off in a theater.

Good thing the snake didn't jump on you! Lol
You think a .22 pellet be better ?

I shot a mole from 5 feet. It ran in it's hole. Next day it had crawled out and died. It must have died a miserable death, blinded, and bloodied with a ton of little holes that didn't go too deep. Felt bad for the little guy. Now I use CB caps.
